Callum Anderson, Scotland
BA History & Spanish
Strathclyde gave me the opportunity and confidence to go to Spain and supported me throughout the year, so that was definitely a highlight.
Siyu Luna Luo, China
MSc Business Translation & Interpreting
All of my lecturers and my supervisor at Strathclyde were very helpful and supportive. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience to study in Strathclyde and also live in a city with marvellous buildings and warm-hearted people.
Chenjiazi Xu, China
MSc Business Translation & Interpreting
If you want to take this course, my advice is to lay a good foundation and learn English and mother tongue well before you start taking this course. Because you have to switch between the two languages a lot in class.
Sarah White, Scotland
BA French & Spanish
I picked Strathclyde because it is a modern, practical university and there is less focus on literature in their language courses than some other universities which appealed to me as I was more interested in learning relevant language which is used day to day.
Nicola Cringean, Scotland
BA French & Spanish
The year abroad was a big attraction for me when choosing a University as this would give me the chance to fully immerse myself in a new culture, and is an excellent way to master the language.
